Title: Improvements in a registering mechanism for golf driving machine
IPC: A63B69/36
Filed: 1927-05-24
Abstract: 295,455. Decker, T. H. May 24, 1927. Measuring the force of a blow.- A device for indicating the strength of a golf stroke comprises a hollow casing having a flexible wall 3, Figs. 1 and 3, with which the ball impacts. The wall is held in a state of tension by springs 4, 45 and weights 44, and the pressure within the casing is maintained slightly above that of the atmosphere by a fan 6. Upon the impact of a golf ball, the pressure within the casing rises and the lid 9 of a box 8 connected to the rear of the casing is caused to rise. The movement of the lid is transmitted through levers 10, 41, and cord 40 to a pointer 23, Fig. 4, that registers with a dial 21 graduated in yards. The pointer is flexible and is adapted to cooperate with a series of pegs 22 projecting from the dial. A spring brake engages the cam-shaped hub of the pointer to equalize the graduations of the dial. The air entering the casing from the fan is vented through a port 18 and valve 19, Fig. 7. A sudden increase in pressure causes a second valve 16 to close the port 18.

The loading trough 8 is connected to the shaft 21 by arms 8a, 8b. The shaft 21 is provided with a handle 22 having a push button 25 which can actuate a mechanism 24 to effect the unlocking of a device 23 and allow the loading trough 8 to be tilted in a transverse direction by the handle 22. When a shell is re ceived in the loading trough 8 the latter tilts in the axial direction until arrested by contacting a pad 29, Fig. 6, on the gun. This ensures that the loading trough 8 and the loading tray 9 are in axial alignment. When the round is rammed into the breechring 3, Fig. 1, the balancing device 26, 28, Fig. 6, returns the loading trough 8 to the position shown in Fig. 5 in readiness to receive another shell from a loading table 6, Fig. 2, which is adjacent to and inclined towards the loading trough 8. The table 6 is provided with slots 15 and supports shafts 12 having cams 13, 14 mounted thereon. The shafts 12 are rotated, by a shaft 16 having a handle 19, so as to cause one set of cams to move into their respective slots 15 when the other set of cams move out of their respective slots 15. This allows controlled rolling of the shell, the shell adjacent the trough 8 being received therein and the other shell progressing towards the trough 8.

Title: Barity checking a double-frequency coherent-phase data signal
IPC: G06F11/10
Filed: 1974-04-02
Abstract: 1417675 Parity checking BURROUGHS CORP 2 April 1974 14521/74 Headings G4H and G4C A parity bit is generated for a "doublefrequency coherent phase" data signal (wherein a "1" contains a transition in the middle of a bit and a "0" does not) by the steps of sampling the level of the signal at a point between the beginning and middle of the first bit, sampling the level of the signal at a point between the middle and end of the last (nth) bit, comparing the two levels, and generating in response thereto a parity bit of a level determined by whether n is even or odd and whether there is to be even or odd parity. The comparison is effected using an EXCLUSIVE-OR gate when n is even (odd) and there is to be odd (even) parity, and using an inverted EXCLUSIVE-OR gate when n is even (odd) and there is to be even (odd) parity. As described (Fig. 1, not shown) the parity bit is added to a signal recorded on a strip (4) of magnetisable material (e.g. on a credit card). When this signal is read from the card, a further parity bit is generated and compared with the originally generated parity bit after decoding, lack of agreement producing an error signal.

The lever 2 has two noses 3, 4 to engage in alternation with the five-toothed ratchet-wheel 7 rigid with a decagonal disc 8 justified by an U-shaped spring 14. Coaxial with the wheels 7 and 8 is a hub 18 carrying the index hand 11 and a 10-toothed ratchet-wheel 9 provided with clutch teeth 10 and forced by a spring 12 into coupling engagement with the wheel 7. Bell-hammers 13<a>, 13<b> are arranged as shown and are drawn towards each other by a spring 20. Oscillation of the lever 2 from say right to left first operates the bell-hammer 13<a> by means of a one-way plunger pawl 23a and then near the end of the stroke advances the wheel 7 through nearly one-tenth of a rotation whereupon the spring 14 and wheel 8 complete the movement. Oscillation in the reverse direction will, by a second pawl 23<b>, causethe other bell-hammer to strike and will again advance the wheel 7. Reversal of the index hand when withdrawn from the wheel 7 cannot occur as in this position of the parts the wheel 9 is in engagement with a pawl 22 fast with the clapper 13<a>. Forward rotation of the hand is however possible but only to the accompaniment of strokes of the clapper.
